h2. Summary

These two Google gadgets provide a means to show [eBird|http://ebird.org] or [eBird Trail Tracker|http://www.birds.cornell.edu/is/ett/](eTT) observations over the past few days on a web site or on your Google home page. These gadgets utilize the data provided by the [eBird Recent Observations at Locations|CLOISAPI:eBird-1.1-RecentObservationsAtLocations].That url delivers summary data about eBird and eTT observations made at an [eBird hotspot|http://ebird.org/content/ebird/about/hotspots] or any other eBird or eTT location.

There are two separate gadgets, which display the same data, but are branded somewhat differently. One gadget has eTT branding while the other has pure eBird branding.
